To: The Boy I Met This Year

Dear Boy I met this year,

First thing's first. I'd wish I've never met you. Only because if I have never me you or could have been a friend to you. I wish I could go back in time to the beginning of the year and walk right up to you to at least say "Hi".

I would turn back time around just to have you as a friend. Then again who am I to turn back the clocks of time. I wish that when i first saw you I didn't think that you were attractive. I can wish to all to no anvil; it's useless. Nothing can change the past but with three more years of high school to go I think I can get to know you over time. I wish when I first saw you my heart didn't stop.

I wish when I heard first heard your last name I didn't want it to be mine. I wish when I stood next to you my hands didn't tremble. I wish when I tried to talk to you my voice didn't shake. I wish when you are in classes with me my eyes didn't stray to your face and maybe get some work done in class if i didn't find you so interesting. All the changes i would make if I could are all useless because I wouldn't change a thing.

Because I sorta have a crush on you, boy I met this year.

*This is inspired by the song Tremble for My Beloved by Collective Soul.*
